Woolwich Parish records baptism/birth look up please
« on: Saturday 28 February 09 20:28 UTC (UK) »
Could some kind person look up the Woolwich parish records for me please. I am looking to see if there was a Mary Ann Fraser born/baptised in Woolwich in 1844. Her father's name was James Fraser.
Many thanks,
Gunner771.

As no record appears in the GRO birth registrations, then I suspect not..
The parish records may be purchased on CD from NWKFHS or they are available at the "Greenwich Heritage Centre".
If the father was military it could be worth looking at those birth indexes (Findmypast)

Thanks Pauline, I suspect that she was born in Ireland and took to saying she was from Woolwich at a later date to avoid the stigma attached to this at the time. If I had found one in the Woolwich records though it would have disproved this theory. I thank you for the information and will look into it again when I am able to get back on the topic, at present I am distracted by other matters.
Regards,
Gunner.

There is an Ann Fraser born Q4 1843 in Greenwich District.  Woolwich is in the borough of Greenwich so this could be her.  Index is Vol 5, Page 240.

All the best

Many thanks for the information, but it is definitely a Mary Ann Fraser I am looking for with a Father called James. Despite her claiming to be born in Woolwich in later census, the only matches I found were for James an ex-soldier who had an Irish wife Mary, and a daughter Mary Ann born in Ireland while James was stationed there. After much research I am fairly confident that these are the right ones, but if I had found definite proof of a Mary Ann born in Woolwich in about 1844 with a Father called James then I would have to reassess matters. Unfortunately it is a case that not finding one does not mean that there isn't one.
